Went to a local bar to see a good 80's cover band - the M80's (http://www.m80srocks.homestead.com/).
It was also the bar's 2 year anniversary - LA Hangout (http://www.thehangoutbar.com/1.html), and they had various raffles throughout the night. You get one raffle ticket coming in (I put my name and c phone number on that one)- and I also got a few when I bought drinks.
Right before the last set - they had the guitar raffle. I was busy yapping - (luckily I had set my c phone to vibrate) and I felt my phone ring. I answered it, and it was the owner of the bar, about 10 feet away from me, telling me I had won, and the girl I was talking to you started jumping up and down saying I had won.
I won this: Fender (Squier) Fat Strat (http://www.guitarcenter.com/shop/product/buy_squier_affinity_series_fat_strat_electric_guitar?full_sku=510629%2e001).
It looks almost exactly like that one, but the top is dark wood, not light as pictured.
I guess it's kind of deceptive, as they said they were giving away a "Fender Strat", and I got the budget line model - but who cares?

That is awesome man! I use this website: http://www.guitartabs.cc/ It has a ton of info to help you pick around.
You'll need an amp and since you live in an apartment complex may I suggest a nice Randall stack? :rofl;
-
Nothing wrong with that. The squiers aren't bad for a low udget instrument.
I have a Squier bass thats about 20 years old, and still plays well.
-
Hey, that's a lot nicer than the guitar *I* started on!
As far as training course, I'm self-taught, so I would recommend just getting a bunch of TABLATURE and picking at it. If you have any friends who play, it's good to watch thier techniques.
Oh, and congrats!

More free shit. :D
I went to a friend's computer store (we hang out there and drink after closing), and one of his customers was still there. Turns out the guy's a big bassist. Then he leaves, and comes back with a goodie bag for me:
New fabric (nylon) case (For a bass, but it's better than nothing)
VERY small battery powered practice amp
guitar > amp cord
guitar strap
assorted Picks
and a set of nice headphones.
:w00t:

Congrats on the guitar.

Whoa there Cassanova! At the level you're at, you'll have to buy her a whole lot of drinks first.

Heck, a lot of non-musician chicks wouldn't know the difference between Paganini's Fifth Caprice and a poorly fretted rooth-fifth.

I like the loks of it too..
I was a LITLLE buzzed in that pic..
Lotsa :atbeer: , and the Jim Beam girls were busy getting people drunk too.

Gettin' drunk with the Jim Beam girls and winning a guitar, I'd call that a good week.
I have a sunburst Squier Strat that I won on EBAY for $100 bucks. The guy won it in a radio contest and didn't want it.
The damn thing sounds great and it has the band Fuel's signatures on the front. I thought about scrubbing them off but they don't bother be anymore.
I don't think I ever won anything that big in a contest. Enjoy!
Don't serenade the ladies with it just hit them over the head with the business end.
That's much more romantic.

Alright Flintstone...l ol

That'll go down in history.
